Rifle Paper Co.

These Valentine's by Rifle Paper Co. are definitely on the list for next year's Valentine's Day, especially since my go-to Valentine for the last three years is no longer being offered :(

Ice Milk Aprons

Aren't these aprons from Ice Milk Aprons just divine?! They are totally what I envision my life being someday: calm, serene, beautiful and full of baking. And with names like "rollings of cinnamon" and "sugar cone scoops" they just sound delicious! Be sure to check out their blog for delicious heirloom recipes.

Frances Crafeteria

This one's for the locals! My messy desk is even messier today, as I'm busily crafting more goodies for the Frances Crafeteria! Frances is an awesome boutique in Central Phoenix. If you're in Phoenix on Friday, December 3rd (from 6 to 10 pm) stop by and see me!

Less & More

Lately I have been spending an average of about 9 hours a day at my desk. I'm only slightly complaining, and I am so happy I'm busy with work, but it gets a little lonesome sitting by yourself all day. AND, since I'm living at my desk, it's gotten very messy. Which I hate. Which the hubs can attest to, because I'm constantly nagging him about his endlessly messy office.

I just found Less & More, a lovely shop that offers all kinds of great organization tools. They are so simple and clean, they would add to your desk without making it look cluttered. Gorgeous!

Hello Handmade!

Just announced! Hello Handmade Paperie has just released their 2011 calender, and it's a beauty! I'll let them describe it to you:

"We are so thrilled to be launching our 2011 calendar today, and we wanted to be the first to tell you about it. Featuring the words of Mary Oliver, Shanna Murray's illustrations and Betsy Dunlap's calligraphy, this quiet calendar will make you draw in your breath with it's beauty. This calendar is broken up into seasons, with four separate 7 x 7 panels.

Because we wanted to create something extra special this year, each one is an original. Betsy has penned each and every season with jet black gouache, no two will be exactly the same. We've laid out the seasons so when the bottom two inches are trimmed away, an original 5x7 remains. We love the thought of these quiet, and thoughtful celebrations being kept long after the year has past."

Lovely.

Día de los Muertos

Happy November! In honor of the Day of the dead, check out Illustrated Ink's fantastic shop. So many great things!!

Winter treasury

I just love everything about this treasury by Creature Colllars. It makes me long for short, crisp days and long nights spent by a fireplace. I will have neither of those anytime soon, so here's to living vicariously through Etsy treasuries! Go here to see the complete Treasury list, and here to make your own.

New mug cozies in the shop!

It's kinda starting to cool off here in the desert (It's going to be 74 on Wednesday!!! You have no idea how exciting that is.) That means it's almost time to break out the tea kettle, so I've created some fun mug cozies. After a few trials and mostly errors, I think I've perfected them! And, the lovely blue-gray mug is included! Available now in the shop. Soon to follow are cozies perfect for your Starbucks habit :)

Uncommon

I love just about everything in Uncommon's shop. The color palette is so me! And I love all the clean lines. Lovely!

Kickin' it Old School

I was looking through my old shop and I realized that I had sold quite a few laptop cozies. So I'm bringing them back, along with a few other best sellers. They make great holiday gifts! Check them out in the shop!
